 How does an ordinary, middle-aged couple become a symbol of defiance against the crushing weight of a totalitarian regime?
Join us for the next installment of our Social Justice Film Series as we explore the quiet, steady pulse of courage in the face of Nazi brutality. We will be screening the 2016 film Alone in Berlin, followed by a facilitated discussion. Event Details
Alone in Berlin Directed by Vincent Pérez | 103 Minutes | 2016 Set against the tumultuous backdrop of Berlin in 1940, the film follows Otto and Anna Quangel (portrayed by Brendan Gleeson and Emma Thompson), a working-class couple simply trying to survive the war. Their lives are shattered when their only son is killed on the frontlines. Transmuting their grief into a dangerous form of protest, the Quangels begin hand-writing postcards emblazoned with anti-Nazi slogans, risking everything to leave them in public spaces across the city. This "small" act of subversion soon rattles the regime, sparking a high-stakes cat-and-mouse game with a relentless police inspector (Daniel Brühl) who is determined to hunt them down. "Part of the story’s potency lies in the fact that this is a kind of resistance that anyone can imagine carrying out, however timid, however lonely... it requires the weird tenacity and organisation of a serial killer." — Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian The Legacy of the Story The film is based on the bestselling novel Every Man Dies Alone by Hans Fallada, widely considered one of the greatest anti-fascist novels ever written. Published posthumously in 1947, it was famously hailed by Auschwitz survivor and author Primo Levi as "the greatest book ever written about German resistance to the Nazis." Alone in Berlin serves as both a gripping thriller and a stirring ode to those who refuse to remain silent, reminding us that even the smallest acts of defiance can leave an indelible mark on history. Why Attend? In an era where we often wonder what impact a single person can have against systemic injustice, the story of the Quangels offers a haunting and beautiful meditation on individual agency. Come for the film, stay for the dialogue, and connect with others committed to the pursuit of social justice.  What happens when the "rules-based order" fails to apply its own rules? How do you reconcile living in an empire that doesn't view you as fully human?
On Thursday, May 14th, two of our social justice groups—the Palestine Israel Justice Team and the Racialized Identities Awareness Book Group—are coming together for a deep-dive discussion into one of the most vital books of the year: One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This by award-winning novelist and journalist Omar El Akkad. The Book: A Reckoning for Our Time Omar El Akkad’s latest work began with a viral tweet that resonated with millions. Just three weeks into the bombardment of Gaza, he wrote: "One day, when it’s safe, when there’s no personal downside to calling a thing what it is... everyone will have always been against this." The book expands on this sentiment, serving as a powerful "breakup letter" to Western ideals. El Akkad chronicles the profound fracture felt by Black, Brown, and Indigenous communities, as well as a younger generation that is witnessing a stark disconnect between Western values and Western actions. Drawing on his own life as an immigrant and a journalist whose career was shaped by the aftermath of 9/11, El Akkad argues that we are witnessing a permanent shift in how the world views the leadership of countries like the U.S., the UK, France, and Germany. Why This Matters With a 4.59 rating on Goodreads and a nomination for the 2025 Readers' Favorite Nonfiction award, this book is being compared to James Baldwin’s The Fire Next Time. It provides the vocabulary for the unrest we see today on college campuses and city streets—a collective realization that the "West" can no longer be trusted as the world's moral arbiter. Event Details Whether you are a long-time social justice advocate or someone looking to better understand the current global shift, we welcome your voice in this conversation.
Free event. Reserve your spot here. Interested in joining? Please contact Louise ([email protected]) for more information on how to attend or where to find a copy of the book. Let’s gather to discuss what it means to want—and build—something better than what the status quo has served up. We hope to see you there! “Circle of History” Workshop with Rev. Justine and guest consultant Rev. Kikanza Nuri-Robins4/8/2026  Saturday, May 2 | 1 pm - 5 pm | Bard Hall
Register here. What stories have shaped our congregation—and how shall we tell them more fully? Join Rev. Justine and guest consultant Rev. Kikanza Nuri Robbins for a meaningful and interactive “Circle of History” workshop. Together, we’ll reflect, share, and weave our collective memories into a richer, more complete narrative of who we are—past, present, and future. Bring your experiences, your curiosity, and maybe a story or two. This gathering is not only an opportunity for connection and community-building—it will also help create materials to support our ministerial search team as they prepare information for prospective ministers. All members and friends are warmly invited. Whether you’ve been here for decades or just arrived, your voice is an important part of our story. Come early (noon!) with a brown bag lunch (we’ll provide cold drinks and a sweet treat) and enjoy some time together on the patio before we begin at 1 pm. We’ll wrap up by 5 pm—with some new connections and a deeper sense of belonging.  Your Board periodically develops Outcome Statements that guide our work. Meet with us after the Sunday, April 12 worship service in Bard Hall to discuss our first Outcome Statement: Let's discuss how we are doing and what we could be doing better. The full statement is as follows:
We Create Community. We welcome and support our members, friends, and visitors on their spiritual paths. We embrace diversity, see differences as opportunities for growth, and value all people for the ways they enrich our community. We support and encourage families of all configurations and we nurture our children and youth. We understand our Unitarian Universalist identity and we embody Unitarian Universalist principles. We are compassionate and we care for and support one another in times of joy and sorrow. |
